Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Cartwheel” dari Lucy Dacus.
[Intro]
Dm C
[Verse 1]
Dm
Here and there and gone again
Firefly juice on your skin
C
You're glowing like an atom bomb
This natural thing that you've undone
Dm
Outgrew older sister's clothes again
Won't admit you're growing tall and thin
C
You like your body pulling at the seams
You're not prepared for what the future brings
Dm
Curse words and empty cups
Cracked blacktop curling up
C
Heatwave by midday
G
Heat lightning on a summer night
Dm
And I remember when you used to call
Holed up in the closet in the hall
C
Scared you wouldn't live to forty-five
The same age as your father when he died
G
You'd say, "We need to talk
F
Sneak out, meet me on your block"
Am
I'd sit by you, silent on the curb
C
What to say when there is not a word?
Dm
Spell broke at daybreak
Light another candle on the cake
C
Cartwheel and a broken wrist
(Dm)
Skin scarred and sun-kissed
[Interlude]
Dm C x3
[Verse 2]
Dm
When you told me 'bout your first time
The soccer player at the senior high
C
I felt my body crumple to the floor
Betrayal like I'd never felt before
Dm
I thought back to many years ago
A late-night promise on the telephone
C
We'd build a house of twigs and vines
Grow old together just to pass the time
G
Now there's only past and present day
F
I can't believe a word you say
Am
The future isn't worth its weight in gold
C Em G
The future is a benevolent black hole
